A community of practice is a group of professionals who share a common interest or expertise and regularly communicate to discuss best practices and share knowledge. In this scenario, the neurologist used a specialized Web site for medical personnel, which is an example of a community of practice. The other options (project team, task force, virtual team) suggest more formalized groups with specific goals or tasks, which doesn't fit the scenario described.
